USC/UVA Game Day Schedule

Tonight, USC will have a brief walk-through practice at 4:00 p.m. in shirts and shorts.

At 4:45 p.m., the team, the band and the Song Girls convene in the lobby of Heritage Hall for a Trojan tradition, the "Jock Rally."

We'll document it for you with a photo gallery and an awesome new video.

The team departs for its downtown hotel at 5:30 p.m. at which point we say goodbye to the boys until the "Trojan Walk" at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday.

As Lane Kiffin said last week about his pregame routine for the team, "It's a little bit different approach. It's a little bit tighter. The last approach won 34 straight games and 7 straight conference championships, but you have to be yourself. We'll be a little bit tighter with them and not quite as loose. That's just how we'll approach it."

Because of this, the game day coverage you'll get here on USCTrojans.com will also have "a little bit different approach" than what you might have been used to in years past. Different in some ways, enhanced in other ways.

For example, we know some of you liked the behind-the-scenes photos at the hotel, but we'll cut back on that for now with Coach Kiffin's "tighter" philosophy.

However, we think you'll enjoy the enhanced game day experience you'll get from us. For instance:
